[Pragmatic Bookshelf] 40% Off Black Friday Celebration One-Day Sale
- pietrofmaggi 16y ago"We’re offering 40% off everything in the store—books, PDFs, and screencasts. There are a couple of exceptions, including The Pragmatic Programmer book itself (ironically, we don’t publish it), and the Programming Ruby 1.9 which is already on its anniversary sale."
- kazuya 16y agoAlso note: the coupon is valid from 00:01PST to 23:59PST on Friday, November 26th. (PST is 8 hours behind GMT) That is, it's almost Saturday for me in GMT+9. And interestingly it's starting from 00:01, not from 00:00.
- ukdm 16y agoThat link didn't work for me, this did though [linked removed] thanks pietrofmaggi
- pietrofmaggi 16y agoThis link is about the 2009 edition of the promotion, now it's a different coupon code and it works only for friday 26 of november.
- jim_h 16y agoTheir servers must be getting hammered now. Even pragprog.com is a bit slow. It's going to be interesting on Black Friday if this is how responsive it is just for the announcement.
- atourino 16y agoIt's hard to get excited about a promotion that brings down the price to about what Amazon already sells their books. I'm not trying to diss the PragProgs. I like their books as they're very useful to me. I do own a couple. But from the customer's perspective, it's not a big deal. Now the screencasts is another matter. 40% off is a pretty good deal.
- rdhyee 16y agoThe sale is exciting to those of us who want to buy the ebooks, which are not available from Amazon. (I'm thinking about now buying Seven Languages in Seven Weeks: A Pragmatic Guide to Learning Programming Languages on Friday.)
- atourino 16y agoGood point, I had glossed over ebooks. Many thanks!
- kazuya 16y agoI would agree with you if those on Amazon have DRM-free ebook version.
- atourino 16y agoYeah. the 40% is great fro ebook and screencast. I hadn't taken ebooks into account.
- bnycum 16y agoGreat, I've already bought 3 PragProg books this month alone. Don't know how I can resist the temptation from buying more. PragProg is probably my favorite publisher, I really enjoy their books.

- saw 16y agoDoes anyone have a "best of" list or a list of their favorite books from Pragmatic Bookshelf?
- uxp 16y agoTo be honest, their entire catalog belongs in my "best of" pile.
- SerpentJoe 16y agoPragmatic Thinking And Learning is outstanding. I killed at least one highlighter on the first read. It's a permanent bonus to your first derivative. In fact, thanks for reminding me it's time for a re-read.
- Qigglers 16y agoI haven't been impressed with the technical level of some of these books. It's fairly low.
- DannoHung 16y agoCan you get a discount on the beta books?
